Jason Mraz’s If it kills me

I wrote yesterday that I really enjoyed Geek in the Pink at the Jason Mraz Kuala Lumpur concert. It wasn’t all that I enjoyed. I had a really great time, to the point that I lost my voice. I haven’t shouted or screamed at a concert that much in a long time (and the concert hall was almost completely full, how awesome was that?).

The song that stuck to me was If It Kills Me. There was such emotion, such sincerity, it felt that he was singing this song to a very specific person. I found myself being swept away by the beauty of the music and the depth of the emotion.

Hello, tell me you knowYeah, you figured me outSomething gave it awayIt would be such a beautiful momentTo see the look on your faceTo know that I know that you know now

And baby that’s a case of my wishful thinkingYou know nothingWell, you and IWhy, we go carrying on for hours on endWe get along much betterThan you and your boyfriend

Well all I really wanna do is love youA kind much closer than friends useBut I still can’t say it after all we’ve been throughAnd all I really want from you is to feel meAs the feeling inside keeps buildingAnd I will find a way to you if it kills meIf it kills me

How long, can I go on like this,Wishing to kiss you,Before I rightly explode?Well, this double life I lead isn’t healthy for meIn fact it makes me nervousIf I get caught I could be risking it all

‘Cause maybe there’s a lot that I missIn case I’m wrong

All I really wanna do is love youA kind much closer than friends useI still can’t say it after all we’ve been throughAnd all I really want from you is to feel meAs the feeling inside keeps buildingAnd I will find a way to you if it kills meIf it kills meIf it kills me

If I should be so boldI’d ask you to hold my heart in your handI’d tell you from the start how I’ve longed to be your manBut I never said a wordI guess I’m gonna miss my chance again

Well all I really wanna do is love youA kind much closer than friends useI still can’t say it after all we’ve been throughAnd all I really want from you is to feel meAs the feeling inside keeps buildingAnd I will find a way to you if it kills meIf it kills meIf it kills meI think it might kill me

And all I really want to do is feel youYeah, the feeling inside keeps buildingI’ll find a way to you if it kills meIf it kills meIt might kill me
